That just a conspirological idea, which additionally suggests to create a
functionality that is known to be going to break constantly again and again by
next Windows updates, keeping developers busy with finding new workarounds to
fix it, and users getting upset with the feature being broken again. Of course,
LibreOffice is so bug-free, and has so many human power to spare, that such an
activity is badly needed to keep developers at least somewhat busy, while some
users suspecting conspiracy would wave to inspire them [/sarcasm].

I would add a button to Options->General to call normal Windows Default apps
settings applet - see https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/82777; that would
expectedly only show the infobanner on Win10, telling user which applet to use
to define the associations. Users then would see what to do, as Windows told
them. That should be the only thing possible to LibreOffice.
